Downtown Ocean Springs became a movie set Tuesday and those who were nearby got to see John Travolta and the cast of the movie “Cash Out 3” wandering the familiar sidewalks under the oak trees.

Travolta is back in South Mississippi starring in the third “Cash Out” action-adventure movie.

The cast and crew will be in South Mississippi for another two weeks, filming at locations across the Coast.

People reported on Facebook seeing the crew filming at a golf course in Gulfport. Travolta posed for a photo while having dinner at The Rack House Steaks & Spirits in downtown Gulfport. Someone on Facebook said he had the crab cake special and a filet.

Part of Washington Avenue in Ocean Springs was closed Tuesday morning and Travolta, wearing jeans and a black shirt and hat, was filmed walking with another cast member along the sidewalk from about Moxie Boutique to The Lady May restaurant.

It was difficult to tell what was part of the production and which parked cars and people were there as they would be on any other Tuesday.

Those hired as extras were dressed as tourists, carrying shopping bags and wearing big hats. They were directed to pass near Travolta as he walked along the street.

At times, Travolta — famous for his roles in “Grease,” “Saturday Night Fever,” and many other blockbuster movies — stopped to take selfies with some of the background actors along the street.

A dozen curious onlookers, gathered to watch near Kilwins, could hear the production staff give directions to the actors and they could see all the computer screens and electronics set up under the cover of an awning at the antique store.

The street was barricaded at Government and Porter, but was still accessible for customers at businesses in the closed area.

Filming also took place Tuesday near The Roost Boutique Hotel on Porter Avenue.
